From a donor’s perspective on what theCommunity Foundation for the Alleghenies does

Every year, dozens of high school students from Bedford, Cambria, and Somerset counties travel to Washington, D.C. for an all-expenses paid trip the U.S. Holocaust Museum. There, these students are transported through time, to learn about the history and horrors of racism, and to take in the effects of genocide.
These trips are transformative. They are the legacy of Abe Beerman.
